Much like other secure file sharing services, Firefox Send employs an encryption system that encrypts the file you upload, ensuring that your files cannot be easily accessed by anyone.

However, Firefox Send doesnÃ¢ÂÂt stop at just encrypting your file. To add an additional layer of security, the system also has a built-in system that would automatically delete the uploaded file when said file has been downloaded once.

In the event that the file was not downloaded within 24 hours, Firefox Send would proceed to delete the file as well. Besides automatic deletion, the person who uploaded the file will also be given the option to the delete said file as well.

The nature of Firefox Send is ideal for those who need to share files containing sensitive information to a third-party. However, those who are looking for a way to share files with a group of people need to look elsewhere as the one-time download feature of Firefox Send isnÃ¢ÂÂt exactly suited for that.

Despite its name, Firefox Send isnÃ¢ÂÂt a Firefox browser-only service. This Firefox Test Pilot service is available across all modern browsers, so those who do not have Firefox installed on their PCs will still be able to access it on their other browsers (Chrome, Safari, Edge, Opera, etc).
